Hi people

Would appreciate your help regarding above.
1. yum install fileutils
The response is
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

2.perl -MCPAN -e shell
Has the error
Warning: links not found in PATH
Where is your links program? []

Is links part of fileutils ? Which yum repositary ?

Please help
Many thanks
Cheers

This means that the package is already installed. :)

Can you post the output of yum search links here?

I don't think so
[c@host ~]$ rpm -aq | grep fileutils
[c@host ~]$


Can you post the output of yum search links here?


Thanks in advance, file is also attached

Please post the output here instead of attaching a file. That makes it easier for us.

Ok, just downloaded it and had a look.
Please try yum install elinks
then run which links afterwards. It should then show you the path to the links program.

/usr/bin/links

Result of links -version
ELinks 0.10.3 (built on Jun 10 2005 19:30:04)

Features:
Standard, IPv6, gzip, bzip2, Cascading Style Sheets, Protocol (File, FTP, HTTP, SMB, URI rewrite, User protocols),
SSL (OpenSSL), MIME (Option system, Mailcap, Mimetypes files), LED indicators,
Bookmarks, Cookies, Form History, Global History

After executing links please see attachment.

Seem to be a wrong links.

If so could it be a bug ? Could it be asking for link instead of links ?
